So after yesterday’s fresh pink salmon dinner….I outdid myself again tonight…if I say so myself! I bbq’d some rib steak shish kabob, zucchini, pineapple and hot dogs in my own marinade. Fresh garden green beans/ cucumber salad and rice. For desert, vanilla bean ice cream with fresh peaches!

This isn't fancy. It's a meal in a bag that's actually worth buying. Just note that you really have to melt the frozen sauce packets before you start cooking or you could burn the basil and overcook the pasta.

Tri tip roast almost done.

Medium rare?? What time is dinner? That looks good…..

Yes. My wife and kids like it more medium and I like it more rare. It's a fine balancing act.

My son brought some of his friends over and I'm making bacon cheeseburgers with Black Butte Porter and Gouda smoked sausages. And a variety of salads, including my favorite tomato, Basil, mozzarella and olive oil salad.

And beer.

That looks so good!! Please share your sesame crust soy-ginger marinate recipe and procedure. How long do you marinate the fish?

Two ways
Sesame crust- pat tuna dry, s and p, coat in seedse then sear.
Soy ginger- looked like she processed some fresh ginger and soy sauce together. May have been scallion and some garlic in there too. Sesame oil would be good but we ran out on my poke. It marinated 30-60 minutes. IDK, the wife likes these marinated tuna dishes, and I am just okay on them. I do it for her. She reserved some and used it as a sauce. Me, I like the tuna!

When I sear ahi, I like to pat it dry, rub the loin in sesame oil, roll it in sesame seeds and let it touch a hot pan BRIEFLY then slice and serve. Your plate looks amazing.

I like seared poke…tuna, spearfish, striped Marlin, yellowtail…take slices of fish, like boneless steaks, rub lightly with a neutral oil and place in a hot non stick pan to briefly sear both sides…remove and let cool, then cut into poke cubes, and place into a bowl. Add sprouts (mung bean, soybean or sunflower), sliced white onion, chopped cilantro, a minced chili pepper of your choice, and shaved napa (won bok) cabbage…drizzle soy sauce, a Tbsp of oyster sauce, a Tbsp of sesame oil, and roasted sesame seeds and mix…only need chopsticks and cold beer

Just the salad:




Raw white onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, salt, pepper and a tad bit of EVOO. Spoon this on your curry rice. Oishii! (We just call it onion salad.)

On Sunday, went fishing "down the Shore" (the local way of saying "at the NJ shore"), and while the fishing was slow, did manage to find the first-of-the-season ripe beach plums (Prunus maritima).
Missed out the past two years, so was happy to collect a small container. These are about the same size as a very large blueberry, and taste very similar to a cultivated plum (a mix of tart and sweet), although not the greatest ratio of flesh to skin/pit:

They're mostly used for jelly, but that's too much work for me (not to mention that I'd need a lot more fruit). Had enough for a small cobbler, which was a nice treat:

Hope to get more this weekend, and maybe catch our dinner as well!
